Lisa Vanderpump: Celebrity Beauty Secrets, The Real Housewives Series

Its reunion day on Season Four of the The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and as you probably know from my previous post on Kyle Richards I am a huge Housewives fan.  This season has been pretty crazy, particularly with all the controversy & drama surrounding one of my all-time favourite housewives Lisa Vanderpump.

YSL Spring Look Collection for 2014 - Rosy Blush & Gloss in No 19 - Swatches & Review

Spring collections always hit a soft spot in me for pale pinks, peaches and lilac purples. This year I have been very conscientious with my purchases and have only sprung for products that I really, really needed desired for my makeup collection.

I had the pleasure of seeing these beauties in person before purchasing which doesn't often happen being in Australia I usually jump on something soon after it's release online as it takes months to hit our shores. God forbid I miss out, ha!

Product's I've Used Up / Empties: Part One FOUNDATIONS

PART ONE: FOUNDATIONS

Over the past few months I've been on a mission to use up old beauty/make-up products. I can't explain the ridiculous sense of satisfaction and achievement I feel when scraping the last morsels of product from it's packaging. It's a small gratification I have almost become addicted to, and as a result go totally overboard on application - using up things like a mad woman. Consequently I've racked up quite a few empties to share with you, too many for one post. I've broken it up into a few categories, the first being foundations. Enjoy and if you have any empties posts of your own be sure to link them below - empties are my favourite kind of posts to read.

Lush for Beginners - LUSH AWARDS - Best of Lush

I remember the first time I walked into Lush store, it was in my last year of high school and they opened up a shop in my local mall. I walked in, had a look around at all the beautiful sweet smelling soaps and bath products, became instantly overwhelmed by choice and walked straight back out.

It took me another year to even think about entering again - so when I wash requested to a "Lush for Beginners" post I thought it was an amazing idea and thought I would chuck a bit extra in for us "Lush Pros" by dubbing it - THE LUSH AWARDS! 

So for those of you who like me, are feeling overwhelmed and need a little push in the right direction this is a guide to cut through all the mundane products and get straight to the good stuff - I've spent the last few years trying, testing and researching the best Lush has to offer so you don't have to!

Be sure to comment and let me know whether you agree or disagree with any of my picks, have I left anything out? What would be in your Lush awards? Also if this actually helps anyone at all let me know!

Beauty Focus: Leighton Meester

As the face of both Herbal Essences and Vera Wang's latest fragrance release Lovestruck, Leighton Meester is no novice on what it takes to look good on camera. Although the infamous Blair Waldorf (played by Meester in the hit teen drama Gossip Girl) may prefer high end haulage Leighton likes to grab bargains at her local drugstore! “One of the joys of my job is being able to try all different products, but if I can spend a lot less on something, I’d rather do that.” She tells People magazine.

Not afraid to rock minimal/no makeup and a cozy pair of sweats every once in a while Leighton's style is more relaxed then Blair's, but still maintains that overwhelming hint of classic charm. Epitomized in Vera Wang's campaign for Lovestruck, Leighton is a classic Hollywood beauty. Her looks and style show great homage to the beautiful screen sirens of yesteryear like Audrey Hepburn and Grace Kelly.

Glossybox - March

I realise this review is a tad late, in my defence I didn't receive this box until quite late in March. I haven't reviewed any of my previous Glossybox's because I'm conflicted as to whether this will actually be helpful to any of my readers. If you do find this review/unboxing helpful or redundent please comment below, this way I'll know whether or not to review next months box.

On with the review....

I feel like the Australian Glossybox is really behind the other sample type of boxes I've seen reviewed. The descriptions of products on the info sheets is very wishy-washy and there is no pricing info at all. I like the idea of pricing info so you can calculate how much your box is worth and get that nice buzz from realising you scored a bunch of products for next to nothing or the opposite if you happen to get unlucky.
